WINDOWS CE POWER MAGAZINE - JANUARY 2000

PDF files on Windows CE: an exclusive preview
Corporate America loves Adobe System, Inc.'s Portable Document Format (PDF). After all, most major layout and documentation software packages have the ability to save a file in this format. Soon, there will be a product from a company called Ansyr that will allow you to view PDFs on your handheld. In this exclusive beta watch report, Contributing Editor Clifford Brooks tells you whether Ansyr is the answer.

Routefinder PNA: Windows CE guides the way
We've already seen the application of Windows CE in automotive technology with Clarion's AutoPC. Now, Datus Inc., a subsidiary of Korean electronics giant Daewoo, brings advanced GPS navigation technology to your car with the Routefinder PNA 7000, the world's first handheld auto navigation system. But is it an expensive yuppie toy or an indispensable navigation tool? Senior Technical Editor Jason Perlow gives you the scoop.

Palm-sized input panel quirks and mounted database volumes
This month, BSQUARE's Steve Makofsky explains how to determine if the SIP (Software Input Panel) API is available on a device at runtime, how to programmatically show or hide the SIP, how to create databases on a flash card, and how to create a hidden database.

WINDOWS CE POWER MAGAZINE BOOK CLUB
Buffy, Angel, Socrates, and a few agile managers
Now that you (and your computer) have presumably survived Y2K, Windows CE Power's Book Club Editor Judith Tabron manages to discuss Socrates and the sad Doyle death scene (from the popular TV series Angel) all in the same article. It gets better: there's a Buffy episode guide and a retro guide to being a good manager.

FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
